Erikson requires that students enrolled in an on-campus master's degree or
graduate certificate program have minimum basic coverage for accidental
injury and/or sickness. You can meet this requirement at the beginning
of each academic year by:
- providing proof of health insurance coverage and completing a health insurance waiver form online; or
- enrolling in the Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan offered through United Healthcare.
Student Injury & Sickness Insurance Plan through United Healthcare
If you do not provide proof of health insurance coverage, you will be automatically enrolled in the plan offered through United Healthcare and you will be billed for the plan premium through your Erikson student account.
If you choose to enroll in this plan, you may also insure your dependents on a voluntary basis. Eligible dependents are the spouse and unmarried children (under 19 years of age or 23 if a full-time student in an accredited school) who are financially dependent upon you, the insured student. Plan costs are detailed below.

Please note that Erikson does not administer or in any way represent the health insurance plan offered by United Healthcare. You are strongly advised to review the terms and supplement this policy with other coverage if additional or different coverage is needed.
International students
International students who are in F-1 status are subject to the health insurance requirement as a condition of their F-1 status. F-1 students may choose to enroll in the plan offered by United Healthcare or provide proof of comparable coverage. Per F-1 student regulations, comparable policies must cover the full period of enrollment and must cover a minimum of US $50,000 for accident or illness, and at least US $7,500 for repatriation, and US $10,000 for medical evacuation. International students are encouraged to contact Michel Frendian, dean of enrollment management, prior to choosing another health insurance plan in order to make sure that the plan meets these requirements.
